A New York court will begin selecting jurors Monday to try an ex-president on criminal charges for the first time in U.S. history.
Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, right, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., arrive at a news conference, Friday, April 12, 2024, at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla.
Yet polls show a criminal conviction could dent Mr. Trump’s support among independents as he heads for a rematch with President Biden. Mr. Biden “can’t put two sentences together, he can’t do anything, so they weaponize government and they take me to court on bullshit,” Mr. Trump said in a recent social media post.
The indictment is sparsely worded, though prosecutors have alleged that records were falsified to conceal what amounted to a campaign expenditure — one that should have been disclosed. They’ve also alluded to potential tax crimes. Mr. Trump tried to get the case dismissed or delayed by pointing to a parallel fight before the Supreme Court over whether presidents enjoy broad immunity from prosecution for actions taken while they occupied the White House. It didn’t work, nor did his claim that Judge Juan Merchan would be politically biased against him.
